On 23 November, OCCRP produced a report saying that the Bongo family has ruled Gabon for over 5 decades — and for nearly as long, they have been accused of looting their nation’s wealth.

Now reporters have discovered that over the past two decades, the Bongos and their inner circle — including a judge who has been instrumental in helping the family hang on to power — have purchased at least 7 properties worth over $4.2 million in and near Washington.
